-
Miteosis
-
Mitosis
-
Meiosis
Correct Answer
A. MitosisExplanation
Mitosis is the correct answer because it refers to the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, development, and repair in multicellular organisms. During mitosis, the replicated chromosomes are evenly distributed to the daughter cells, ensuring that each cell receives the same genetic information as the parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a different type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells and results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes.Rate this question:

Melanin
-
Pore
-
Sebum
Correct Answer
A. MelaninExplanation
Melanin is the major skin pigment that determines the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis.

The amount and type of melanin in our skin also determines our level of sun sensitivity and our ability to tan. Therefore, melanin plays a crucial role in determining our skin tone and providing protection against sun damage.Rate this question:

Which of the following local anesthetic agents is commonly used in dentistry
-
Oil of wintergreen
-
Procaine
-
Nitrous oxide
-
Halothane
Correct Answer
A. ProcaineExplanation
Procaine is commonly used in dentistry as a local anesthetic agent. It is a type of ester local anesthetic that is used to numb the area being treated, providing pain relief during dental procedures. Procaine works by blocking nerve impulses in the area where it is applied, temporarily numbing the area and preventing the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This allows dentists to perform procedures such as tooth extractions, fillings, and root canals with minimal discomfort to the patient. Oil of wintergreen, nitrous oxide, and halothane are not commonly used as local anesthetic agents in dentistry.Rate this question:

Asymmetry refers to the irregular shape of a mole or lesion, while border describes the jagged or uneven edges. Color refers to the variation in shades within the mole, and diameter is the size of the mole, typically larger than 6mm. Elevation refers to any raised or uneven areas on the skin. By checking for these characteristics, individuals can identify potential signs of melanoma and seek medical attention.Rate this question:
